DESCRIPTORS Adult Basic Education; *Correctional Education; *Correctional Institutions; Correctional Rehabilitation; Criminals; *Educational History; Foreign Countries; Postsecondary Education; Prisoners; Prison Libraries; Rehabilitation Programs; Secondary Education; Vocational Rehabilitation IDENTIFIERS *England; *Wales ABSTRACT In response to prison disturbances in England and Wales in the late 1980s, the education program for prisoners was improved and more prisoners were given access to educational services. Although education is a relatively new phenomenon in the English and Welsh penal system, by the 20th century, education had become an integral part of prison life. It served partly as a control mechanism and partly for more altruistic needs. Until 1993 the management and delivery of education and training in prisons was carried out by local education authority staff. Since that time, the education responsibility has been contracted out to organizations such as the Staff College, other universities, and private training organizations. Various policy implications were resolved in order to allow these organizations to provide prison education. Today, prison education programs are probably the most comprehensive of any found in the country. They may range from literacy education to postgraduate study, with students ranging in age from 15 to over 65. The curriculum focuses on social and life skills. -

It lies some 5 miles north of the city centre on the northern edge of the West Yorkshire conurbation. The parish is on a ridge between the valleys of the River Aire and River Wharfe. It is bounded by the suburbs of Adel and Bramhope to the west, Harrogate Road to the east, Moor Allerton to the south and Harewood parish to the north. The northern part of the parish is mixed farmland in the Green Belt in which Eccup Reservoir is situated. To the north of the parish is the Harewood Estate. Moortown and Sandmoor golf courses lie within the parish together with part of Headingley golf course. There are several sports fields. The site of a Roman road crosses the parish from West to East, from Ilkley to Tadcaster, close to Alwoodley Lane. Alwoodley Old Hall stood adjacent to the site of Eccup Reservoir in the present grounds of Sandmoor Golf Club. Built in the 17th century it was demolished in 1969. Early on the 20th century Alwoodley became a leisure destination for Leeds inhabitants; before that it was an isolated agricultural community.

Leeds City Council Standards Committee Annual Report 2009
Leeds City Council Standards Committee Annual Report 2009 – 2010 Introduction The Local Government Act 2000 requires councils to set up a standards committee. Standards committees have a proactive role in creating an ethical framework which governs the relationship between high standards of conduct and transparency and openness in decision making. As a result of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 and the Standards Committee (England) Regulations 2008, the role of the Standards Committee also includes the local assessment of complaints made under the Member Code of Conduct. This is the Committee’s fifth Annual Report and it presents a summary of its work during the 2009-10 municipal year. The Committee’s Annual Return to Standards for England is appended to the report. This report supports the corporate governance arrangements of the Council by promoting good conduct and cascading information. Our Ambition “To help develop and maintain a climate of mutual trust and respect in which Members, officers and partners work effectively together to deliver the Council’s strategic and operational priorities and where the public can be assured that this is done in an honest, objective and accountable way.” 2 Foreword from the Chair Leeds City Council was announced as winner of the Standards and Ethics category at the Local Government Chronicle Awards 2010. The judging panel was impressed by the Leeds approach to ethical governance within the authority, and its commitment to promoting and maintaining high standards of Member conduct. Features of our work were also highlighted as a case study of notable practice in Standards for England’s most recent Annual Review. -

Candidates Yorkshire Region
Page | 1 LIBERAL/LIBERAL DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES IN THE YORKSHIRE AND HUMBERSIDE REGION 1945-2015 Constituencies in the county of Yorkshire (excluding Cleveland and Teesside) INCLUDING SDP CANDIDATES in the GENERAL ELECTIONS of 1983 and 1987 PREFACE A number of difficulties have been encountered in compiling this Index which have not been resolved in an entirely satisfactory manner. Local government boundary changes in the early 1970s led to the creation of the Cleveland and HuMberside Counties. Cleveland and adjacent constituencies have been included in the Index for the North East Region. HuMberside constituencies coMMencing with the General Election of February 1974 are included in the Yorkshire Region. The region has been home to an impressive gallery of party personalities, several of whoM receive extended entries. The spirited independence with respect to LPO HQ in London which the Yorkshire Regional Party has often shown, and the relatively strong direction it has exerted over its constituency associations, would account for the formidable challenge maintained in the Region at successive general elections, even in the direst years of party fortunes. Yorkshire appears to have been rather less willing in 1950 to heed to the dictates of the Martell Plan (see article below) than other regions. Even so, until the 1970s there were several Labour-held Mining and industrial constituencies where the Party declined to fight. InforMation on Many candidates reMains sparse. SDP candidates particularly, over 1983-87, seem to have been an anonyMous battalion indeed, few if any of them leaving a Mark on any field of huMan endeavour. 1 Page | 2 THE MARTELL PLAN The Martell Plan, mentioned in passing throughout the regional directories was the electoral strategy adopted by the Liberal Party for the General Election of 1950.
